"Why should she be?" returned the other warmly. "Did she have any thought for anything but her own parade when she pretended to be sorry for you? There's such a thing as carrying virtue too far, my dear girl, and I think you're straining your charity with too fine a sieve." "My dear Etwald, if I did not know you so well, I should take you for a charlatan." But Jaggard was far from the condition of connected thought or coherent words.

But there was a kind of heavy, sleepy smell about." "It's simply heavenly, and I don't know how we got along without it!" she cried, rapturously. "It makes me wild to think of the months we've wasted this fall." Elinor, who had lifted her eyes perfunctorily, gave real attention.
